CONCORD, N.C. — Austin Cindric will celebrate a milestone before strapping into his race truck Friday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Prior to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series NC Education Lottery 200 (8 p.m. ET, FS1), Cindric will become a high school graduate from Cannon School, located just up the road from CMS in Concord, North Carolina.
Although it will be a quick turnaround between the graduation ceremony and getting to the racetrack in time for qualifying, Cindric, son of Team Penske president Tim Cindric, won’t be wearing a firesuit under his graduation gown.
“I’m afraid that would be pretty hot,” Cindric said Thursday at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
